take an ep no one wanted! :-)

A wheatfield

A police car drives down a road. Lightning strikes and white smoke remains.
It lifts, revealing a young woman, wearing a white dress and shawl.
She
rises. Another bolt, only it's red. A young man in a leather jacket
is
there.
"Elisa?" he asks. "Travis?" she replies. He runs to her. It's been
some time
since they've seen each other. He's missed her, and she's prayed for
this. A
police officer nears. They kiss, then a flashlight beam is in their
faces.
What's going on? He wants their hands up. Travis glares at him, it's
none of
his business. Back off, the cop says. She tells Travis it will be fine.
He
knows it will. The cop reaches for his gun, Travis points his arm.
Red
lightning bolts from his hand, sending the cop flying. Travis looks
at his
hand in surprise. She's horrified. They approach the cop, see the smoke
coming from him. Travis glories in this, holding up his hand. She's
upset;
she's come to save him. She has; she's freed him. He's got things to
do,
then
he'll return for her. He tries to kiss her, but she turns away. He
laughs,
blows her a kiss, then vanishes in a red flash.

Angel Island - The Control Room

Alex, Nick and Derek are looking at the large screen, reviewing paranormal
events in the morning report. She answers the phone. It's Fr. Peter
Tomanski,
asking if Derek's heard about the death of a policeman in McCutchen's
Field.
Alex pulls it up on the screen. The report says he was killed by a
random
lightning strike. The priest says there wasn't a storm for 300 miles.
Alex
reads that a witness reported red lightning. Derek asks how Peter knows.
A
parishioner was a witness. Elisa's in Fr. Tomanski's office. Peter
asks if
they could come there. Of course, Derek says. After hanging up, Nick
asks
about Fr. Tomanski. Didn't the Church want to ex-communicate him? Yes,
when
they learned he was performing exorcisms. Someone's got to do it, Alex
says.
That's what he thought, and the Vatican agreed to look the other way
if he
kept a low profile. Derek knows he wouldn't have called unless it was
important. Nick volunteers to check out the field..

Chinatown

A man in a leather jacket and bandanna exits a building. Travis comes
up
behind him. He sees his jacket fits his friend Jimbo nicely, tapping
it.
Jimbo looks scared, saying it's impossible. Travis pulls him closer.
Why,
because he died in a fiery car crash? He's looking for the $50 he owes
him
and why his friend turned him in to the cops. Jimbo swears it was Eddie.
Travis saw Eddie, who said it was both of them. Besides, he knows he's
lying
as his left eye is twitching. Jimbo looks around; this can't be real.
Oh, it
is, Travis says. Burning to death "sucks," but Jimbo will learn that.
He
pulls him behind an SUV. We see fire and hear Jimbo scream.

Angel Island - The Front Parlor

Derek examines a plastic bag of ash that Nick found at the field. Nick
says
it looked like a lightning strike. The ash came from the middle of
a
scorched
circle and smelled like sulfur. Derek gives it to Alex for analysis.
Anything
in particular that she's looking for? "Fire and brimstone," Nick says.
The
phone rings. It's Jonathan, their guests have arrived.

The Front Foyer

Fr. Tomanski and Elisa are seated on a bench. He rises as Derek enters
and
introduces him to Elisa. As they shake hands, Derek has a vision of
her and
a
man in a fiery car crash. She looks at Derek, as does Peter, until
he comes
out of it. Fr. Tomanski says she came to his church for refuge after
her
experience. He's told her the Luna Foundation helps those in "extraordinary
situations." She thinks she qualifies. Derek is curious.

The Front Parlor

Derek brings Elisa a glass of water. She tells Derek, Alex and Nick
that she
was in the wheatfield with a man. Their relationship ended "rather
abruptly"
two years ago. He called her; he was in trouble. She hoped she could
help
him... She stops, telling Fr. Tomanski that this probably isn't a good
idea.
He advises her to tell them what she told him. Well, things got out
of hand
and he killed the officer. Nick says they heard he was killed by lightning.
No, he wasn't. What's this man's name? Travis Walker. Derek asks if
she
knows
where Travis is. No, he's vanished. She looked for him all night but
couldn't
find him.

Angel Island - the next morning

Derek, Nick and Alex enter the control room. Derek doesn't think Elisa
is
telling the whole truth. He tells them of his vision. Nick tries to
make
sense of it. They were kissing, along came the cop, so Travis pulled
out a
flamethrower and fried him? Alex remarks on their "messy relationship."
Derek
thinks something inexplicable occurred in the field. They should give
her
another chance to tell the truth. Meanwhile, they'll run a check of
her
fingerprints from the glass.

The Garden

Fr. Tomanski and Elisa are admiring the roses as Derek approaches. She
comments on how peaceful it is. Peter calls it "an island of tranquillity
in
a world of chaos." Derek says he and his people would like to help.
Fr.
Tomanski says she can trust them. She knows, but she seems uncertain.
Peter
takes Derek aside, he's returning to the church to do some research.
He
presumes Derek is doing the same? Yes, they are.

Derek walks with Elisa. What more can she tell him about Travis? Well,
she
knew he had a "wild streak" but didn't think he could kill. They have
to
find
him; she's worried he'll do it again and she can't live with that.
He
questions her "intense responsibility" for Travis. Because she's why
he's
here. She walks away, with Derek looking after her.

Derek reads a newspaper report of the accident to Elisa, as Nick and
Alex
listen as well. Travis and Elisa were killed when he lost control of
their
stolen car and crashed into a tree. Derek looks at her, placing the
report
down. They can't help unless they know the truth. She hesitates, then
says
the report is right; they were dead, but now they're back. Alex asks
what
she
is now that she's back. Elisa hesitates even longer. She was an angel.
And
now, Derek asks. She's fallen. Alex asks how she lost "your wings?"
She came
back on her own. Why did she come down, Nick asks. She says heaven
isn't
really up. Nick and Alex laugh. She was given "the gift of grace" but
rejected serving in heaven to return and be with Travis. She gave up
her
salvation to help him. He told her it would free him from his torment
and
he'd learn to walk in the light. Is she saying Travis was in hell?
She
thought each made their own hell, but she was wrong. She loved him,
thought
she could help him, but now realizes she's released him to do more
evil.
She's got to set things right. Doesn't she have any powers? No, she
lost
them
when she left heaven. They must think she's crazy, or why she'd gave
up
heaven for Travis. She was 21 when she died, starting to appreciate
love of
her life, her self and for him. Then it was over. As she walked up
to this
house, she felt they'd understand. She hopes they believe her, and
see how
dangerous Travis is. She hopes they'll help her.

The Control Room

Nick reports the lab analysis is back on the ash. Alex looks at the
screen
as
Derek enters. He left Elisa in the garden; she's determined to find
Travis.
Derek wants an update. Alex says there was sulfur and carbon in the
ash but
no trace elements. It's as if the heat "atomized" it; lightning can't
do
that. "Hellfire and brimstone," Derek notes. What does Nick think?
He's seen
strange things in the Legacy, but an angel?

The Garden

Elisa stops to touch a flower. Travis appears. How did he get here?
It's
"one
of the cooler fringe benefits of working for the man." She wants to
help
him.
Then she should have stayed away from the priest. She needed someone
to talk
to. Well, she's complicated things, and he's got to clean up her mess.
What
does he mean? Don't worry, he says, caressing her cheek. With a wink
and a
red flash, he's gone. She calls his name. Derek appears. Travis was
there,
she says. They have to warn Fr. Tomanski, Travis is going to hurt him.
Derek
says they'll go back to the house and call him.

St. Stephen's Church

Fr. Tomanski sits in his office, several open books before him. There's
a
noise. He stands and goes out front. Is someone here? A confessional
door
closes. He enters to hear their confession. A voice says, "Forgive
me,
Father, for I have sinned." It's late for confession, the priest tells
the
man, come back tomorrow. The voice becomes demonic. He knows she came
to see
him; what did she say? Peter's voice trembles as he tells him to leave.
But,
he taunts, he hasn't done his penance. Fr. Tomanski backs up in fear.
A red
glow appears. The priest grabs for the doorknob, but it burns his hand.
He
screams. A arm comes through the screen and grabs the priest around
the
neck.
He's lifted as he struggles and shouts.

A Hospital

Derek and Elisa walk beside a doctor, with Nick trailing. The doctor
reports
the priest was brought in about midnight with a severely bruised larynx
and
third degree burns on his hands and neck. Nick and Derek are
confused.
Burns? Yes, they think he was locked in the confessional and set on
fire.
He'll recover but he'll be there a few days. The doctor shows
them to his
room

The priest is unconscious, a nasty burn ring around his lower face as
it
meets the bandages encircling his neck. Elisa says it's her fault.
She went
to him for help and Travis did this to him. Derek assures her she's
not to
blame. She disagrees, she let Travis loose. She has to stop him before
he
hurts more people. She tells Nick he could be next. They can take care
of
themselves, he says. They gaze at the priest before Elisa turns away.
They
still don't understand, she says, her voice cracking. She exits. Derek
approaches his friend, then gently takes his bandaged hand in both
of his.
He
has a vision of the priest surrounded by fire; a demonic face appears,
with
sharp teeth, pointed ears, and black eyes. The demon grabs at the priest...
Nick watches Derek come out of it, and they look at each other.

Hospital Chapel

Elisa enters and kneels before a window of Christ on the Cross. She
prays,
then Travis appears. He hears her prayer. She's angry. Has he come
to finish
what he's started? The priest will be fine, he says, it looks worse
than it
is. She hits him, saying he didn't have to hurt the priest. He was
just
trying to help her. Travis grabs her arms. Yes, help her destroy him.
He
recalls when she cared more for him than an "old man." She did care,
she
admits. She still does, he says. He plays with her hair, reminding
her when
they met, calling her his "angel." Her eyes are closed, lost in memory.

Hospital Corridor

Derek and Nick discuss what to do next. Derek will go to St. Stephen's
and
tells Nick to find Elisa and bring her back to the Legacy House.

Hospital Chapel

Elisa asks why he keeps hurting innocent people. Innocent? They were
getting
in their way. The cop was going to shoot him, the priest was a "moment
of
anger" that he regrets. Think about us, he says, how they were cheated.
They
had their whole lives before them, but some cruel fate took it away.
Now
they
can be together. They hear Nick calling her. Travis gets angry. Is
this
another guy trying to help her or tear them apart? She doesn't want
anyone
hurt so she heads for the door. Travis doesn't want to hurt anyone,
but will
if he must.

Hospital Corridor

Elisa joins Nick. She was just saying a prayer. Let's get out of here,
she
says. Nick notices her anxiety. Is she okay? Fine. Where's Derek? He's
gone
to the church and asked Nick to take her back to the house. They leave,
and
under the Chapel door a red mist is seen.

St. Stephen's Church

Derek walks to the confessional where police tape cordons it off. He
bends
underneath it, then examines the confessional. Opening it, he sees
the
charred wood, then sits where Fr. Tomanski was. His hand touches the
burned
wood, then he turns to see the hole in the screen that separate the
priest
from the penitent. Placing his hand over it, he has a vision. He Sees
a hand
on the knob and hears screaming, a man in the confessional, a hand
held up,
fire, Fr. Tomanski screaming and holding his hand, an image of Christ
on the
Cross, a hand coming through the screen, Peter screaming as fire surrounds
him... Derek is shaken and tries to catch his breath.

Angel Island - The Front Parlor

Elisa sits on the sofa, drinking tea. She gives it to Alex; she's not
a tea
drinker. Alex suggests something stronger. As she gets it, she tells
Elisa
that she's been checking into Travis' background -- armed robbery,
assault
with a deadly weapon, grand theft auto, suspicion of murder... Alex
brings
her brandy, saying that's not the type of person you'd find with an
angel.
Elisa admits "love blinds us to many sins." Alex continues, "and the
sinners
who commit them." She knows Alex once had to "make that choice" whether
to
stay with such a man. Too many times, Alex admits. Elisa knows there
was a
particular one who "left a mark on your soul." Alex says she
was 18 when
she
moved in with him. Elisa knows the "dull ache" of his love that was
"always
there." It still is, Alex says. He wanted to take care of her, but
she "lost
herself" in him so she left. Elisa says she can tell she's still wondering
if
she made the right decision. Alex nods. Elisa says she thinks she did,
or
she
wouldn't have found her "own way."

The Control Room

Nick looks at a newspaper article on the screen about "a local couple"
killed
in a police pursuit. Another appears as Elisa enters. How did she get
in?
She
just walked in, was that okay? Nick looks to the entrance, then to
her. He's
still having trouble believing her, isn't he. Can she blame him? No,
if she
wasn't "back" she wouldn't believe it herself. What happens now that
she's a
fallen angel? Will she get another chance? She doesn't know, but the
Bible
says that "an angel that abandons its responsibilities is locked in
the
Darkness with everlasting chains till Judgment Day." He asks if the
Darkness
is Hell. It depends if he believes in a literal Heaven and Hell. Should
he?
She laughs, saying he's a good man, don't worry about it. He smiles,
saying
thanks. He'd like to believe she's an angel. Then "stop thinking with
your
head and start feeling with your heart."

The Front Parlor

Derek enters, removing his jacket. He tells Alex that, based on what
he's
seen in visions and physical evidence, they're dealing the "essence
of pure
evil." Nick enters. He's learned two former buddies of Travis' "ratted
on
him" after he died. Police report that both have turned up dead. Alex
guesses
they were burned. Yes, and it "wasn't pretty."

An Upstairs Bedroom

Elisa's lying on a bed, tossing in her sleep. Travis appears and she
wakes.
What's he doing there? He's completed his business. He sits on the
bed and
she turns away. He lies next to her, stroking her hair, saying it's
their
time now. He caresses her cheek, then her neck, and she's feeling the
joys
of
the flesh. He tells her it's all he's been thinking about since they
returned. He turns her to him and they kiss passionately. They part
and he
says they can now live the lives taken from them. She says they weren't
taken, "we wasted them." Well, it's time they got them back. There's
a happy
look on her face. She can help him "live in the Light." Sorry, he doesn't
want that, he wants things the way they were. She pulls back. He says
she
didn't seem to mind "before" when they were alive. She gets out of
bed,
saying he doesn't need her then. He grabs her, pulling her back onto
the
bed.
He needs her more than ever, he says, kissing her neck. Stop it, she
says.
He
does, but she's coming with him so "get used to the idea."

The Front Parlor

Nick will check Travis' "old haunts" but what is he looking for? Derek
says
if they know what he is, maybe they can find a way to stop him. Alex
wonders
if Fr. Tomanski can help. Maybe, but Derek isn't sure... They hear
Elisa
screaming and run out.

An Upstairs Bedroom

Derek, Alex and Nick burst in, Derek in the lead. Travis and Elisa are
by
the
window and he's holding her tightly. She calls Derek's name, who tells
Travis
to let her go. Travis shows his fangs and a demon face for a minute.
He asks
Elisa what will it be. Does she want to see her new friends "turned
to
dust?"
She clings to Travis, saying she'll go with him. Don't, Derek says,
they can
fight him. "No, you can't," she says before they disappear.

St. Stephen's Church - Fr. Tomanski's Office

Nick enters, having had no luck finding them, but expected little when
asking
in bars for a "dead guy." Alex laughs, checking through a book. Join
in, she
tells him. Nick grabs one as Derek checks another on the desk. Under
some
papers he finds an open book. He riffles through it and comes across
a
picture. He shows it to the others. "That's our boy," Nick says.

A Foggy Street

Travis drags Elisa along. He spots a beautiful red sports car. It brings
back
great memories, except for hitting the tree. Elisa wonders what she
saw in
him. A "chance to walk on the wide side," he says. He tries to open
the
door.
"Go to Hell," she says, pulling away. He retorts he had his fill the
first
time. She whines about what she's done for him, even dying for him.
She
thought if she loved him enough she could change him. The owner approaches,
yelling at them to get away from his car. Travis gets a nasty smile
on his
face. No, she says, don't. Well, get in the car or watch this guy burn.
The
owner continues yelling. Now, Travis says. In she goes. The owner starts
running to them as Travis gets behind the wheel. One touch of his finger
on
the ignition starts it. With a squeal of tires, they're off. Travis
aims for
the owner, now in the middle of the street! He jumps out of the way
as his
car speeds off.

St. Stephen's Church - Fr. Tomanski's Office

Derek reads how to contain this demon. He must be surrounded by a "sacred
circle" made up of "his corporeal being." Nick says Travis' being is
walking
around. No, that's his demonic form, the real Travis died two years
ago.
Alex
recalls his service was at Hillside Memorial Park. Nick says that's
only 5
or
6 blocks away. They head there.

A Foggy Stretch of Road

Travis is thrilled as they tear down the road. Elisa looks frightened
and
tries to get out. The car swerves as Travis grabs her and pulls her
back.
She
should take care of her life, he laughs, she may not get another. He
remembers she used to love driving fast with him, but he could never
afford
nice cars so he'd "borrow" them. She doesn't want to remember. He recalls
one
guy who didn't want to "part with his precious Trans Am." It cost him
"dearly." Elisa is shocked. He killed someone for their car? He laughs,
does
it matter now? Let's see what this car can do, he says.

Hillside Memorial Park

Derek and Alex search the names with their flashlights. Derek spots
a plaque
with "Travis Edward Walker" on it. "Here," he tells Nick, who swings
a heavy
hammer at it.

A Foggy Stretch of Road

Travis grabs his chest as the car swerves. Elisa hangs on as it continues
and
Travis moans. What is it?

Hillside Memorial Park

Nick pulls out the urn. As he does, the scene switches back to Travis
moaning
and the car swerving. As Derek pours some of Travis' ashes into
his hand,
Travis and Elisa are screaming, and he loses control of the car.

A Foggy Stretch of Road

The crashed car lies on at an angle. Travis screams Elisa's name. She
was
thrown from the car and pulls herself to her feet. He can't move, telling
her
to "get back here." She runs away instead. He yells that there's no
place
she
can run that he won't find her. She looks back, then runs down the
road.

Angel Island

Nick drives his Mustang up to the house after picking up Elisa. As they
enter, Alex and Derek approach them. Elisa, a blanket around her, apologizes
for doing this, but she had no one else to turn to. What happened,
Alex
asks.
Another car accident. Where's Travis, Derek asks. Elisa has no idea.
They
ran
off the road after he had a "seizure or something." Nick notes that
Travis
didn't like them "invading his space." She says they hurt him badly,
but
he's
still alive. He'll be coming. Alex helps her upstairs as Derek and
Nick
prepare.

Angel Island -- Later

Travis enters and screams Elisa's name. He bounds up the stairs, still
screaming her name. He starts to laugh.

Elisa stands in a room, in a circle of Travis' remains. He enters. So
she's
decided to come to her senses? Yes, they can spend another 20 years
together.
He looks down at the circle. He walks around her, laughing. What's
this?
Derek enters, holding a book and standing between Nick and Alex, who
holds
Travis' urn. Travis glares at them. Elisa stops him, calling him back
to
her.
Derek taunts, he's "not going to let a little dust stop you?" I'm here,
she
says. Travis walks to her, standing beside her in the circle. They
don't
think they're going to stop him, do they? Derek opens the book and
begins
the
incantation. The circle glows red and Travis glares at him. He stretches
his
arm and sets the book ablaze. Derek drops it as Travis says they're
just
words. Another sweep of his arm and ashes blow from the circle. It's
time to
go. He grabs Elisa's arm. Derek steps forward, saying she can fight
him.
With
what, she has no powers. She doesn't need them, "just the strength
of your
soul." Derek comes closer. Don't listen, Travis warns. Derek tells
her that
she went to heaven because her "heart is pure." Don't let Travis
become a
"burden," let him go. Believe in yourself! He's right, Elisa says,
she gave
up heaven for him, to save him, she believed he was worth saving. She
was
wrong. But he loves her. No, he doesn't know what love is. It's time
to let
go. Travis says she doesn't have the strength. "Leave her," Derek orders.
Travis glares as Derek takes a step closer. Travis raises his arm,
red
lightning hits Derek. Grabbing his throat, he collapses. Time to go,
Travis
says, before more get hurt. Nick and Alex kneel to check Derek
as Elisa
looks horrified. Alex raises his head and whispers, "He's dead." Nick
is
furious. He stands and steps toward Travis, who taunts, "You want some
of
this?" Nick utters his famous line, "Bring it on." Elisa's angry, this
time
he's gone too far. She glows with a white light that makes its way
down her
body, burning his hand as it reaches it. She steps from the circle,
it
reforms and red "fire" rises from it. They can't do this to him, Travis
screams. Elisa's near Nick, and they watch. He's only getting what
he
deserves, she says. He screams as he "melts" and disappears. "Goodbye,
Travis," she whispers. Nick again kneels at Derek's side. Alex looks
up at
Elisa. Can she help Derek? She's not sure, but she'll try. She kneels
and
places her hand over his chest. She moves it in a circle and a white
light
glows. Nick and Alex exchange looks, hoping for the best. Elisa pulls
her
hand away, and all wait. "Come on, Derek," Alex whispers, "come on."
He
opens
his eyes and looks into the smiling faces of Nick and Alex. He looks
at
Elisa, who's also smiling. He sits up slowly, with help from Nick and
Alex.
Nick says they "lost" him for a moment. It was "strange," Derek says,
he
could "feel my spirit rising up," as he look up to the ceiling Alex
smiles,
that's "a good omen of things to come." Nick counters as long as Derek
"doesn't step" on anyone's toes "for the next 30-40 years." Derek laughs,
"Hopefully, I can manage." They all smile and help him stand as Elisa
says,
"I think you will."

The Garden

The four of them are walking on a path, with Derek and Elisa in the
lead.
She's holding a red rose, telling them there's nothing like the smell
of a
rose "on heaven or earth." What happens to her now? She doesn't know,
but
doesn't think she can go back. Derek offers a place for her there.
Elisa
smiles at him; it's "a tempting offer," but she has to find her own
way. She
thanks Derek, giving him the rose. She smiles at Nick and Alex; she
couldn't
have done this without them. She says goodbye to Derek and they hug.
She
walks down the path. They watch her, until a white glow comes from
her and
wings appear. She turns and smiles at them, then disappears.
